How beautiful it is to find these secluded places in nature. We parked so close to a lake....mountains in the distance. Super quiet. Just the 2 of us basically camping for several days. Nothing eventful, just an example of how this motorhoming life can be at times: relaxing. Nothing more, nothing less.
El Caminito del Rey, in the south of Spain, was once considered the most dangerous hike in the world. Now it has been repaired and rebuilt with nice little walkways that give you a spectacular view of the steep and narrow gorge in El Chorro. Well worth a visit! This was one of the most amazing places we came across while traveling Spain in our motorhome. videos.trom.tf/w/keUxNwBGjXLBC…
Very important documentary. Very well made. But still no criticism of this trade based society...their solutions work IF we calm down with consumerism.
Attenborough explores the planet’s undersea habitats, revealing the greatest age of ocean discovery and emphasizing the ocean’s vital importance while exposing its problems and highlighting opportunities for marine life recovery.
The stunning documentary, Ocean with David Attenborough, shines a light on both the beauty of the sea and the ways in which humans are depleting its riches.
Basically if you need a Mastodon instance, or Peertube, or Friendica and so forth, you pay a monthly fee and we do everything. No need to worry about updates and all that.
The usual updates PLUS a fix. Here is the problem: As you may know we struggle a lot to make all apps (GTK or QT, flatpaks or not) look the same on TROMjaro. To basically use the same theme.
The Nerja cave in Spain is perhaps one of the most amazing caves in Spain. It is huge and people used to live there thousands of years ago. Scientists found cave paintings, human bones, and even evidence that around the same time cave hyenas lived there too. In the cave it is the largest formation of stalactites in the world measuring around 32 meters.
This was such a mindblowing experience for us, it is hard to showcase the immensity of it and uniqueness in a video or photos. We were also able to get in there for free.
We found some amazing places to park our motorhome, but one spot was very tricky to get out of. This was the biggest challenge for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far 😁
We also did the laundry again, bought a lot of groceries for our little fridge, and went for a nice hike around the area.
The usual stable updates from Manjaro plus changing our repo URL! The current TROMjaro users NEED to do this in order for their system to update: SEE HERE! There might be a problem with the default TROMjaro wallpaper when using this ISO, in that yo…
Sasha went for a hike above the Caminito del Rey to see how it compares with the main, and paid for, Caminito del Rey hiking that we both did. She got to see some cool eagles, nice high peaks, and beautiful views. And put her life at risk a little bit 😄.
Capturing the core of the Milky Way for the first time! With a phone.
We let the phone capture the night sky for 8 hours straight and managed to capture the Milky Way for the first time ever!
We also sealed all of our motorhome to protect from water infiltration, and overall spent some 5 amazing nights in this beautiful place, Castillio de Setefilla!
This was the best place we visited so far, an amazing hike through a wonderful canyon. This hike was considered one of the most dangerous in the world up until 2015 or so, when they rebuilt it all to make it safe. The views are spectacular. Hard to showcase that in a video....but we did our best 😃.

When I decided to get Starlink for our motorhome it was around 57 Euros a month for unlimited. By the time we got Starlink it jumped to 72. Then they added some "spanish taxes" and went up to 82. Now I got an email saying they just made it 89. All of these happened in the past few months.
WTF.
But so predictable unfortunately...
It sucks because there is no reliable unlimited internet solution cross-EU. I have paused Starlink for this month and I need to seriously consider what we will do. 90 Euros a month for the internet is crazy.
They really trap you because you buy the dish for a lot of money and that dish can ONLY be used with Starlink. Not that there is any other option for satellite internet. So now if you give up on the subscription, you are left with a fucking 400 Euros dish that is basically ewaste.
90 Euros a month for internet is indeed crazy, I don't know what the solution is since you travel around in a motorhome.... Maybe try to get in touch with other people who are in the same situation as you to see how they handle it?
I did and there is no good solution really....they use SIM cards and change them when going to different countries. And in order to have a good signal they buy antennas for them that cost hundreds of euros too....
We went to Slovakia to monitor migration routes and nesting sites of different bird species. Unfortunately electric lines and electric poles is a serious danger for the birds. But there are great solutions, and there are many people working on solving this problem.

We're only €42 a month short of our annual target!
Although YunoHost has no intention whatsoever of allowing us to calculate the answer to the meaning of life, our modest project does have the ambition of making #selfhosting easier, so that we can collectively regain control over our digital lives by building internets managed by ourselves.
YunoHost is a system that installs itself on a server and allows you to install and maintain - with very little technical knowledge - digital services (apps) that you control.
We went to the famous Caminito Del Rey in the South of Spain. But before we had to do the hike, we stopped for a few days in some near-by beautiful places. One particular was very nice, but almost impossible to get out of. This was the most challenging for our Tortuga (motorhome) so far. We also did the laundry again, bought some food, and went for a nice walk around the area.
Cerro del Hierro, a very nice place where we stayed for a few days and were able to capture perhaps the most amazing nigthsky timelapse. Us, a bench, and the rest of the universe. And we explain how we do these photos/timelapses.
We were also invaded by goats and Sasha went for a small hike between the beautiful rocks.
